Summary[]
Assassin of "Black" is the Assassin-class Servant of Reika Rikudou of the Black Faction in the Great Holy Grail War of Fate/Apocrypha. Originally summoned by Hyouma Sagara, Reika becomes her Master shortly after.
She is one of the Servants of Ritsuka Fujimaru of the Grand Orders conflicts of Fate/Grand Order.
Assassin's True Name is Jack the Ripper, the legendary serial killer famed for the gruesome murders in 19th century England. In truth, this Jack is one of several interpretations of the infamous killer due to the latter's identity never being discovered. This iteration of Jack is a manifestation of the grudge of tens of thousands of abandoned children and fetus's that were left behind by their prostitute mothers. Their goal is to take revenge for the loss and abandonment they suffered, as well as to "return to home", the womb from which they were born from.
Powers and Stats[]
Dimensionality: 3D
Threat Level: Demon
Powers and Abilities:
- Invisibility and Presence Concealment (Has the Presence Concealment skill at A+ rank; Assassin Servants with the same skill at Rank B are at the point where they can erase their presence completely from Magus and Servants alike until they attack)
- Enhanced Smell (With just a sniff, Jack was able to determine Mordred's gender. This is despite the latter wearing her armor, which makes it difficult to gain anything from her beyond her parameters.)
- Limited Information Manipulation (Type 3; Jack's Information Erasure makes it so that everything aside from her Class Name such as her True Name, Parameters, appearance, and Noble Phantasm are erased from any observer's memories once a fight is over)
- Limited Probability Manipulation (Murder on a Misty Night allows Jack to take the first strike on her enemy, with it being completely successful at night while a luck check is required if done in daytime.)
- Possession and Limited Soul Manipulation (The spirits that make up the Assassin Jack the Ripper can possess anyone, and if left alone long enough, the possessed would even have their soul contaminated and eventually turn into a zombie. This ability can allow even a new, living Jack the Ripper to be born albeit one without powers and just filled with murderous intent. Said possession can work on many children at a time.)
- Limited Curse Manipulation (Maria the Ripper's Noble Phantasm's full potential is a curse that affects all females, with it being able to instantly kill them if the aforementioned trait is achieved as well as if it is nighttime and within a foggy condition.)
- Poison Manipulation and Limited Statistics Reduction (Jack the Ripper's The Mist recreates a fog of sulfuric acid based on London's past smog events, killing any non magus within minutes if they're caught inside and even dealing damage to magus's like it was poison. Heroic Spirits who are caught in it will not die, but suffer a single rank reduction in speed.)
- Resistance to Mind Manipulation (Her Mental Pollution Skill gives her a moderate chance to shunt off any mind-based magecraft. This Skill's chances goes higher if she has a Master that is evil-aligned or is cruel to her.)
Physical Strength: City level Striking Strength with Peak Human Lifting Strength (Can hold an adult man down with one arm)
Attack Potency: City (Though an Assassin normally not suited for direct combat, Jack should be comparable to even a Servant with no fame boost such as EMIYA. Can briefly contend with other Servants), can ignore conventional durability
Durability: City (Should be comparable to her AP. Endured and survived a hit from Chiron's arrow with only part of her body blown up.)
Speed: At least Supersonic (Jack's speed rivals that of other Servants of the Knight and Rider Classes. Avoided a swing from Mordred at close range. Was able to throw a scalpel at Sieg so fast, the latter couldn't see it unlike Ruler; Sieg without transforming was able react to and repel bullets fired at him, even those less than a meter away.)
Intelligence: At least Average. Jack is a young girl whose normally
Stamina: High (Can keep on moving even after just having part of her body blown off. Even after getting more injuries, Jack is still able to muster enough energy to keep on retreating but is unable to fight any further. Stayed alive after getting shot in the heart (essentially her Spirit Core) shot by Atalanta.)
Range: Extended Melee Range with knives, several meters with scalpels.
Weakness: Standard Servant Physiology weaknesses. Maria the Ripper's potency and effect is limited to women, as well as having a few other conditions in order to reach its fullest potential. Those with a sufficient sense of direction or usage of magic can escape The Mist's field.
Arsenal[]
Maria the Ripper (Two pairs of knives), several scalpels
Noteworthy Techniques and Abilities[]
- Presence Concealment: The ability to hide one's presence as a Servant. A staple Skill for those of the Assassin Class. At A+ rank, Jack can not only make himself virtually impossible to detect in the perceptive eyes of well-trained Magus's and Servants-alike, but also sneak inside Shirou's home without alerting the Bounded Field set around it that's made to specifically detect intruders as well as evading Rider's senses for some time while conversing with Shirou with his presence never being found. However, the efficiency of this Skill drops when he prepares to attack making them more susceptible to being detected.
- Information Erasure: A skill that enforces the removal of information regarding the Servant's True Name, abilities, and appearance from the records and memories of all eye witnesses, including the opponent, following the conclusion of an engagement. This ability allows Jack to have knowledge and information about her removed even if the battle took place in broad daylight or was recorded by devices such as digital recordings of a closed-circuit camera. However, evidence of the engagement is not removed from the scene, and by way of logical deduction, the Servant's identity may be revealed by examining those evidence, making it possible for those who fought Jack previously to recall her.
- Mental Pollution: A skill that denotes a distorted mentality that shuts out mental interference, at the cost of it being near impossible to come to terms or an understanding with Assassin. Jack C-rank gives her a moderate chance to dispel attempts to affect her mind. Jack's rank particularly becomes higher should her Master be evil-aligned or they repeatedly treat her with acts of cruelty, increasing her chances of shunting off mind-based magecraft.
- Murder on a Misty Night: A skill associated with a Servant who is more of a serial killer rather than an Assassin. Because of the anecdote where their victims were assaulted while unprepared, Jack has the effect of being able to strike first before her target. While at night this gives her an unconditional success of achieving the first blow, in daytime a luck check is required for her to perform.
- Surgical Procedure: The capability of surgical repair with use of a bloodstained scalpel, applicable to the Servant or her Master. Despite the technique being 120 years old and looking outdated appearance-wise, Jack is able to somehow attain the intended effect, which is somewhat boasted through application of magical energy.
- Maria the Ripper, Holy Mother of Dismemberment: The Noble Phantasm of Jack the Ripper. Normally they are a set of four D-rank knives, but under certain conditions, they can be boosted by the grudge of "the 80 thousand children in London's slums, abandoned by prostitute mothers for the sake of their livelihoods, unable to even become prostitutes", with brutal results. There are three conditions to activate this Noble Phantasm: "It is night-time", "the target is a woman (or female)", and "it is misty". When all conditions are fulfilled and the Noble Phantasm is activated, the target's innards are forced out of their body, becoming a dismembered corpse. Should all of the conditions not be met, it will be limited to simple damage, but its power increases with each condition that is fulfilled. As the Noble Phantasm is not an attack from a knife but rather a type of curse, it can be used at long range. To defend against this Noble Phantasm, a resistance against curses is required rather than physical defense.
- The Mist, Darkened Misty Metropolis: A Noble Phantasm that creates a mist-filled barrier. The mist itself, created with mana, is the Noble Phantasm. Although it is a means of keeping people out, a non-magus trapped inside the barrier will die after a few turns. A magus will not die immediately, but will take continuous damage. A Heroic Spirit will not take damage, but their Speed will decrease by one rank. The user of the Noble Phantasm is able to choose who is or is not affected by the fog. As those trapped in the fog lose their sense of direction, an "Instinct" skill ranked B or higher or some kind of magecraft is necessary to escape. The large quantity of soot emitted from the Industrial Revolution onward became a smog of sulphuric acid that caused disaster to London in the 1950s. "Darkened Misty Metropolis" is a Noble Phantasm that reproduces that "mist of death". Because of its nature and effect, Jack can use this Noble Phantasm to fulfill one of the conditions to use her Maria the Ripper, making it a useful ability to further the chance of using Maria the Ripper's fullest damage output.
